WCDMA Bias-T description
A4
The Bias-T used in the Nokia Siemens Networks WCDMA Antenna Systems is an integral component of
the WCDMA Masthead Amplifier (MHA). There are two versions of Bias-T available: Bias-T with VSWR
(voltage standing-wave ratio) and non-VSWR Bias-T.
Bias-T has two primary functions. It provides:
Power to the Masthead Amplifier by injecting DC power into the RF feeder centre conductor, so separate
DC cabling is not needed
Fault monitoring of the antenna line VSWR (voltage standing-wave ratio) and Masthead Amplifier,
forwarding alarm signals to the base station antenna filter unit (WAF)
The Bias-T transfers DC power via the antenna coaxial cable to the MHA connected to the antenna line.
The Bias-T combines DC and RF energy onto the same coaxial cable and provides RF isolation toward
the DC voltage supply and DC isolation towards the BTS. The BTS TX power is fed through the Bias-T.
The VSWR alarm function indicates that the antenna, MHA, feeders or jumpers have developed problems
which impair their functioning. The Bias-T with VSWR can be installed to a WCDMA Antenna System
without an MHA as a stand-alone unit to provide lightning protection and VSWR monitoring.

Flexi WCDMA BTS Internal Bias-T VSWR Tuning
A4
Choosing the Antenna Tune VSWR Threshold menu item opens the Tune VSWR Threshold dialog
box, where you can tune VSWR alarm threshold values for antenna filters inside RF modules.
The VSWR treshold tuning is used for defining values when an alarm notification needs to be sent for a
minor problem of an antenna line condition (decreased condition) and for a major problem condition (cell
blocking).
The VSWR threshold tuning can be also used (indirectly) to find out the actual VSWR value by changing
the values and monitoring alarms.

WCDMA Dual MHA monitoring and alarms
A4
If the MHA unit fails, a bypass mode ensures that the antenna line sector continues operating
Alarms are sent to the BTS via the DC feeders so if the power to the MHA is switched off the alarms are
switched off
If MHA power is lost, the MHA no longer amplifies the Rx signal, but the by-pass operation is still able to
pass through the Rx path (with minor loss).
The MHA has an operational current 'window' and providing the current consumed is within this window
and within the specified DC voltage range, the MHA operates correctly
When the monitored MHA current consumption is outside this window, an MHA alarm is activated
The BTS operating software confirms the alarms and performs a recovery action applicable to the version
of BTS operating software being used
To identify the specific software recovery action, please refer to the BTS Software User Manual
for information
An MHA alarm alerts if the MHA Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is defective or outside the operational limits
Note
If open or high impedance exists along the antenna line supplying the MHA DC supply, this indicates a
VSWR alarm condition
If an MHA alarm is activated, the cause of the alarm must be identified
Once the cause is clearly identified, the appropriate corrective actions can be performed to correct the
fault

A state of the art Low Noise amplifier design provides a nominal 12 dB of gain, compensating feeder loss
and improving coverage
In the unlikely event of component or power failure, a bypass path allows the BTS to continue operation
Power is fed via the feeder cable, in Flexi BTS no BiasTs are needed, WMHD gets its power and control
directly from BTS
With Ultrasite WCDMA BTS, the BiasT is needed
WMHD has also RET connector for remote antenna tilt adjustor, RTA

5A
following functions:
Amplifying the uplink signal received from the TX/RX antenna
with a low noise figure.
Feeding the overall Node B downlink signal to the TX/RX
antenna
The TMA is an optional but highly recommended unit as it
compensates cable losses in the uplink and thus ensures lower
noise disturbance.
High selectivity filters ensure high TX/RX separation, enabling the
reception of low signal levels in the uplink. It therefore improves link
quality and link availability at the cell borders
A4
The TMA is always installed outside the Node B rack/shelter and close to the antenna, thus achieving
fixed sensitivity independently of the feeder cable length.
RA4540FEN06GLA1

TMA Variants 1/2

There are five variants of TMA:
TMA
The TMA is a two-port RF unit (1 x in, 1 x out)

DTMA
The DTMA (Dual Tower Mounted Amplifier) is a four-port RF unit (2 x in, 2 x out)
Consists of two identical TMA submodules in a single housing
One submodule is used for the RX main path and the other for the RX diversity
path
One DTMA module is thus required for each sector
The DTMA is very efficient in combination with a cross- polarized antenna

SDTMA
The SDTMA (Single Feeder Controlled DTMA) has the same capabilities as the
DTMA module
Additionally supports DC power supply and SDTMA signalling via one port for
both TMAs inside the SDTMA
SDTMA is SW-prepared to switch from dual feeder controlled to single feeder
controlled DTMA if required in the current configuration
In case of dual feeder control the RET functionality is provided
A4
The RET (Remote Electrical Tilt) module is located directly under the antenna and contains a stepper
motor which adjusts a phase shift within the antenna
This module is accessed from a RET capable TMA module (TMARET/DTMARET/SDTMA) via the
RS485 interface
RET specific commands enter the Node B at the Core Controller, are routed through a RET capable
DUAMCO (variant DUAMCORET) and are transmitted to the RET module via the RET capable TMA
module
The signals are sent over the HDLC protocol
In the opposite direction the RET module sends information and alarms
RET signaling and DC power from the DUAMCO to the TMA and vice versa is transported through the
antenna feeder cable; a triplexer is integrated in the TMA to provide these functions
A special cable is needed between the TMA and the RET module for the RETs DC voltage and the
RS485 interface
The TMA and its variants are powered by the related DUAMCOs (e.g. TMA/DTMA by DUAMCORT and
TMARET/DTMARET by DUAMCORET).

Concept of TMA and DTMA
one duplexer subsystem

a triplexer
A4
The TMA module consists of
a low-noise amplifier (LNA) with a fail-safe path and a bias & signaling board
The transmit path consists of the TX part of the duplex filters
The receive path consists of the RX part of the duplex filters and contains the LNA
The triplexer combines the TX and the RX path with the TMA signaling path (e.g. alarms). Therefore only
one feeder cable is required between the TMA and the Node B
The TMA is supplied with +12 V DC through the feeder cable from the Node B
The LNA within the TMA has two parallel gain elements:
If a single failure occurs, operation continues with reduced gain
If both gain elements fail, or the supply of the TMA fails, the LNA is bypassed by a fail-safe switch.
The DTMA module consists of
two RF ports
a duplexer subsystem
a triplexer
an LNA with a fail-safe path and a bias & signaling board
For each sub-module, signaling and DC power supply are provided through the associated feeder cables
from the Node B

Pole Mounted DTMAF
A4
The hose clips surrounds the pole and are fitted into the corresponding openings of the mounting plate
(see rear view of the devices). This is the situation just before tightening the hose clips.
For the mounting, the following steps can be generally recommended. First connect the DTMAF /
DTMARETF to the antenna feeder cable. Take into consideration that the antenna feeder often is very stiff
and rather heavy. The position of its coaxial connectors therefore often determines the position of the
DTMAF / DTMARETF on the pole.
1. Place the DTMAF / DTMARETF in its final mounting position at the pole.
2. Secure the unit with a tensioning belt.
3. Open the hose clips by pressing the button at the end of the clip lock and then smoothly pull out the
perforated metal band.
4. Move the metal band of the hose clip gently into the openings of the mounting plate.
5. Close the hose clip loosely around the pole.
6. Tighten the hose clip screws carefully, but do not over-tighten.
7. Remove the tensioning belt.
8. Connect the DTMAF / DTMARETF first to the antenna feeder cable (NodeB) and then to the antenna
jumper cable (ANT). The torque must be 25 Nm (18.5 ft lb).
9. Connect the protective earthing conductor with the DTMAF / DTMARETF ground screw. Tighten the
connection to a torque of 5 Nm (3.7 ft lb).
10. The use of self-vulcanizing tape as an environmental protection of the connectors is recommended.
Pay attention to the thermal dimensional changes of the antenna feeder cables. If the antenna is equipped
with a RET module, install the DC power / data cable between the module and the 8 pole circular
connector of the DTMARETF. The required cable will be delivered with the RET module together.

when common antenna line is shared with a 3G BTS using a multiradio combiner (MRC). WRGT is used
for 800/900 MHz operational frequency bands and with FADB multiradio combiners.
The WRGT unit is only needed when MRC is used and Flexi WCDMA BTS modules are placed inside the
UltraSite EDGE cabinet using the vertical or horizontal installation kit (FMUA/FMUB), to perform the
additional combining of GSM TX signals.
The WRGT is placed to the baseband unit rack of the BTS. FMUA/FMUB is only supported by newer
versions of IDC_/ODCA cabinets (from v.101 for FMUA and v.202 for FMUB). The WRGT unit contains
the additional interconnecting cables needed

Antenna Alarm with Receiver Signal Comparison

This feature is used for monitoring the performance of the antenna line. Antenna alarm
gives information to operator if for example an antenna is broken.
By comparing the signal levels in both receiver antennas an alarm is raised if there is > 4
dB difference in received wideband noise between the diversity branches.

WMHD WCDMA Dual MHA (RAS06)
A4
WMHD MicroMHA comprises two identical amplifiers in one compact integrated package which is easy to
transport and install. A state of the art Low Noise amplifier design provides a nominal 12 dB of gain,
compensating feeder loss and improving coverage. In the unlikely event of component or power failure, a
bypass path allows the BTS to continue operation.
Power is fed via the feeder cable, in Flexi BTS no BiasTs are needed, WMHD gets its power and control
directly from BTS. With Ultrasite one BiasT is needed.
WMHD has also RET connector for remote antenna tilt adjustor, RTA.
WMHD Mast Head Amplifier is upgrade on WMHC.
WMHD adds RET output connector and AISG controlling to WMHC. Remote antenna tilt users saves RET
bias-t and installing time.
RF-performance and outlook will remain same as WMHC.
